if Tampa beats Dallas, do we get Giants - Niners and Tampa - Eagles?

No.  Giants are the 6-seed.  

Dallas - Tampa winner is going against the Niners.

I got my Bengals SB shirt! I’m ready to roll!!!! 
 

One thing you can say so far about the playoff is that the elite HCs are moving forward. Not saying the ones that didn’t are cannon fodder but still…

Cunt Kousins- the greatest QB between the 30's that ever lived.  Also the supreme choker that ever played any sport.

Can't imagine there's much to worry about there. 

But I thought that about Buffalo/Miami, too

Idk. Divisional rivals in playoff games are usually pretty competitive.

The Bengals stadium looks lit! That crowd is ready to fucking rock. Must be nice to know you’ve got your franchise QB. I feel like the Ravens have theirs but it seems like that’s not going to end well. A tag at the very best. Lots of bad blood there.

Not my proudest fap.  But a fap nonetheless

Lamar didn't even travel with the team, yikes.

[LTtxfan 49402]

These two teams really don't like each other.  Something about the fierce hatred in the AFC North Division...  Love it!!!

[Nicole44 22197]

First fantasy league I ever joined (knowing nothing about how to draft) I picked Carson Palmer and then Chad Johnson and TJ Championship. Everyone laughed. That was Carson’s third year. And all three of them went off…I was so proud. 

[Augustus 3061]

I don't even know who's playing QB for Balmore.  Who is it?

Not having an agent didn’t help. They offered a very good contract and he said no. Held out. Got injured. Stop playing. All the pressers indicated that the HC and other top Ravens brass weren’t pleased with him almost as though they thought he’d abandoned the team and was just holding out and not really injured until recently. He wants a contract he ain’t gonna get. So they will tag him I guess. Part of the issue is unlike Mahomes he has not won anything. And the Browns contract for Watson was fucking stupid. Ravens aren’t offering those two things so I guess stalemate.

Joe Mixon has never made me say "wow!" (at least not on a football field) but apparently he's solid enough to still be RB1 all these years.

[tbone_ 14254]

Shitty aspect of our world that Joe Mixon has a career.

I don't begrudge him his career but I do the lack of any real accountability at all.

That’s pretty much my take as well. No remorse or accountability.

Ravens reportedly could play both QB Tyler Huntley, QB Anthony Brown in Wild Card Round vs. Bengals

[Nicole44 22197]

Assuming the Bills win the Bengals v Bills game in Atlanta should have an eclectic crowd/atmosphere. 

[Augustus 3061]

I was about to ask if Huntley could play the game of his life, and...

Brown might be playing more of it…after that pick sheesh…

[Scraps 13598]

That was a backup QB throw

[billfromlaketravis 11600]

It feels like Lamar Jackson sitting out a playoff game with a sprain is revenge for the Raven’s contract negotiations. Really shitty move for the face of the franchise.

Or maybe he’s legit hurt and a huge part of his game is his mobility.

In an empty stadium?  The Bengals will play the Bills in Buffalo.

It's the potential KC-Buffalo AFC Championship that will be in Atlanta.

We'll see about next year.  Didn't really see much drop off in production with Perine in the lead role when Mixon missed a few games with a concussion, and Perine seems to be better at picking up the rush.

If he was the face of the franchise they would've extended him last year or the year before...

Pretty hilarious he's supposed to risk it all with no contact for the future if he's not healthy. 

Ravens should've moved on if they weren't going to pay him.

They should have it here in Pittsburgh, or in Cleveland. Either stadium is an easy drive for both sets of fans, and they don’t even need hotels. 

Edit: i see that it would not be that game.

Perine absolutely is a guy who's had tons of "wow" runs over his career.

Harbaughs are generally assholes but, those sideline questions were stupid as fuck. There don’t need to be sideline interviews.

They are completely worthless, only time they are ever good is when the coach is agitated.

He became agitated with her stupid questions.  Don’t blame him.

Or…when someone turns off the power to the entire stadium during the SB which is pretty sneaky.

Their dad is supposed to be a good guy. I only met him a couple times when he was at Pitt in the 80s. He didn’t seem like a dick.

I guess theoretically Bengals could've been 13-4 with home field over the Bills (13-4) if they continued that game and the Bengals won... But sense they didn't, Bills have home field over Bengals.

Then they didn't have a clear #1 in the AFC because the Bills didn't play the same amount of games as the Chiefs. So they decided neutral site for that one, and still gave the bye to the Chiefs.

I think it has to do with money and product somehow because they won't be playing outdoors in the cold anymore... And it will be a historic neutral site playoff game.

I also remember the huge controversy (not just because of where he was picked…) but because there were several media pundits who thought they should have selected Dwayne Haskins (RIP.) I remember people literally losing their shit on shows right after the draft and all week long. One because they reached for the pick and two because Haskins was the better pick. I heard that for weeks from the pundits. It might have been a reach. They could have gotten him later perhaps but Haskins was not the right selection.
